TRY SKIING

A fun introduction to skiing for anyone who is thinking about learning to ski or just wants to give it a go. You will be in the safe hands of our experienced and qualified instructors on our gently sloping beginner area. With at least an hour on the slope you'll get used to wearing skis and play some fun games and mini challenges out on the slope.

A great taster experience for children (8+) and adults. Ideal first step for anyone thinking about booking onto our more structured ski lessons.

The hour and half session includes your kit up time - your instructor will explain all the equipment, ensure it all fits correctly and go through a safety briefing.

A fun introduction session, your instructor will introduce the equipment and help you get kitted up safely before getting on the slope for the first time with fun games and challenges.

1 STAR: 2 hour lesson. 8 years plus

You'll learn to control your speed on some gentle, short descents. Once in control of your speed you'll be ready to use the lift and progress further up the slope and begin initiating turns.

2 STAR: 2 hour lesson. 8 years plus

Kit up and warm up. A brief recap of the previous lessons then we will teach you to control your turns in both directions, control your speed whilst turning and introduce edge control.

3 STAR: 2 hour lesson. 8 years plus

Kit up and warm up. A brief recap of the previous lessons then we'll concentrate on linking turns and progressing further up the slope.

4 STAR: 2 hour lesson. 8 years plus

Kit up, warm up and recap. Once you are linking your turns confidently, we'll progress towards parallel turns and you'll be ready to ski the whole slope over varied terrain. Complete this lesson and you'll be able to use our slope to practice independently!

These lessons may be too physically challenging for some very small or young children. We can assess your child during their first lesson.

We have group lessons designed for all ages and abilities. Children between five and eight can join our 'Minis' sessions. At the end of the course they can join our Thur'Ski club or attend Family Friendly Ski Sunday sessions to increase confidence and practice their new skills with an instructor at hand.

Minis lessons will only ever have a maximum of 4 children per instructor. Lessons will need to be completed multiple times to reach recreational standard. The average child will need to have approximately 10 lessons in total.

To complete the course children will need to be passed off for each level. Any child who completes their full Minis course with us will receive a FREE Ski Sunday session, a FREE day recreational slope pass and the option of a HALF PRICE annual pass.

Lessons may need to be repeated to get back up to recreational standard if children are unable to practise regularly.

All our prices include hire of all necessary equipment and all sessions allow plenty of time for equipment fitting and de-kitting (included in lesson time).
